Who: Kara, Kitty, and Winn
Broadcast: none.
Action: on the moon
When: now!

[ this is it. months of work, of research, of banging his head against the wall - finally lead them all here, to a little hidden corner of a toxic moon, in full radiation suits, ready to make their first real trial on project plato.

he feels like he should be making a speech of some sort. why does he never learn to make an actual script?

he looks from kara to kitty; the mask hides his smile, but it's obvious in his energy. he actually bounces a little bit with excitement. ]

OK. Before we embark on Project Plato Alpha test - can I just say - this is awesome. And let's not die. [ the last part is a joke. mostly. they ran their calculations very carefully! and kara is mostly invulnerable and kitty can phase. ok, so he's the one who needs to focus on not dying.

there's a reason he usually leaves the speeches to kara and james. ]

Wow, what do you two have against fun?

[ he turns to kitty, gasping, mock-scandalized ]

So who gets the truth! [ he knew being called 'amazing' was suspicious!

sorry kitty, confusion and hilarity require they talk about you and he tends to not do that much he wants to because...there are just a million different reasons why that's awkward ranging from - the two of them are friends, and he's really not trusting his best friend status to buy him confidentiality here, to he doesn't want to rub his happiness in kara's face anymore than they do unintentionally, with stops at - his feelings about kara are complicated. ]

Yeah, Kitty, who gets the truth!

Wow, what makes either of you think the truth is involved? [She's kidding, of course.]

[ he puts a hand to his heart ]

Betrayal! Scandal! Is your name even Kitty?

I bet she's lying to us about that, too. It's really something else, like Katherine.

Dun, dun, duuuun. [What? They needed dramatic music. She makes an adjustment to the machine while they chat.] You like an air of mystery. Don't lie.

Air of mystery, not my whole life is a lie -

[ been there, done that. but he's not thinking about that right now. it really is nice - hanging out with his two favorite ladies together. ]

For the record, I don't really feel any change.

So, is it Katherine? With a K or C?

Yep. K. To better continue Winslow only having friends whose names start with K.

[ shaking his head. no. why you do this to him. ]

Hey that's not true. Cisco's with a C! And Margaery's with an M - Jim's with a J - [ shut up with your kirk, it still counts! ] and I'm gonna stop Sesame Streeting here in 3...hahaha [ yes he's doing an impression of the Count's laugh here ] 2...hahaha. 1....hahaha.

[ focusing on the machine...ha...haha... ]

Jim Kirk, you mean?

I'm pretty sure Margaery is with a K too. [Trolls gotta troll?]

[ remind him, why was he happy about hanging out with both of you together? ]

You know, you're right! I should expend my circle. I should only give access to my pizza plant to people whose name doesn't start with a K!

[ that's right. you need him. cuz. pizza plant is totally one of his realistic projects, sure. ]

Maybe we can spell my name backwards. Le-Roz Arak has a good sound to it.

Um, your pizza plant? Excuse you. That was my idea. And to think I was going to share.

Yeah and Edison didn't invent the lightbulb, Galileo didn't invent the telescope, so on, so forth, that's the world of brand-recognition for you.

[ he shrugs. ]

Credit goes to whoever spreads it.

Okay, I'm not from Earth, but from what I've heard, Edison isn't a great role model.

Yeah, Winn, stop being such an Edison. You get really surly without regular kisses. [Which she can't offer because of the masks.]

Crazes are never pretty.

[ he's already hooked. sorry kara, he can't really not respond to that one. ]

OK, switching to Ultraviolet B - [ remember girls - we're here to try and get kara her powers back, not gang up on him. focus! ]

Get a room, you two.

Away from mine.

Everyone who isn't me is so mean today. Maybe the machine is doing bad things.

Wow, how quickly 'I'm so glad you're here!' turns to 'get the hell away'.

[ shaking his head, they may not be able to see his smile, but it's clear in his voice. ]

Maybe. Maybe this is how I get superpowers too~

[ a guy can dream, right! ]

Okay, well, you know I'm just kidding.

[ she knows he knows. she also knows everyone's just joking! but she's feel a little like a guinea pig and nothing's really happening and she can't help a bit of an impatient tone from slipping in ]

You might have to adjust your new codename if it's special sun powers. [She knows the testing process isn't ideal. But they are trying to do a thing neither of them have ever done before on a person with a biology different from their own.]

I am up for that challenge!

[ he nods excitedly. for the sake of actually useful powers instead of abilities that just rust and go to waste in the fleet, he'll be willing to part with his totally awesome codename. ]
